Yeah, sure - I notice that the stock market is going through the roof.
I did see finance and government buildings however.
More fake news from leftist frauds. The “Brookings Institution” has been flacking for communism for as long as I remember.
Yeah, step away from pounding the keys, idiots, and look at the stock market and the appointments going on in the Trump administration. And tell me again how the economy would flourish under Seize-and-freeze Hillary?
“... while losing the nationwide vote to Clinton by 1.7 “
which number includes at least 3,000,000 illegally cast votes...mostly in California and almost certainly all for Clinton...soooooo...she DIDN’T win the popular vote.
Nevada is probably the best example. Killary won the counties surrounding Las Vegas and Reno. Every other county is red. Yet, Killary won the state:
God bless our Founding Fathers for foreseeing this possibility and establishing the Electorial College to combat this.
Still looking for that silver lining...
Do any of these idiots think that just PERHAPS the density of population might be a MAJOR factor in such economic numbers?
They’re trying to imply that Clinton voters are responsible for economic activity, lol. Bank robbers go where the money is, same with socialists, wards of the state and Democrats, but I repeat myself.
HoGWASH!!! it is easy to cherry pick and write such articles. Look at the publisher of such drivel. One fact throws the article completely out of the water.
West Virginia has suffered immensely from Clinton and Co. (EPA closing down coal mines.) These people who have LOST their livelihood would certainly NOT vote for her, so a lost economy would not show in her column. Unfortunately for her the 90 million unemployed were not in her column either. Those who were in her column like wall street and Hollywood keep on making money regardless of the economic disasters OTHERS suffer.
So what, Trump won the food chain. Which is a more fundamental need? Good luck to all the ‘economic victors’ trying to eat their cash.
How on earth can the Clinton popular vote margin be more than doubled since a few days ago to 1.7 million? Are Democrats still voting - perhaps 100 times per voter?
And how can you create the illusion that Michigan's 16 EVs are still in doubt?
Clearly, you are deliberately fudging these numbers, just as we might expect from the WaPo.
Now as to your main point, that Clinton "won 64 percent of the economy," your method of calculation is inane. Of course, Clinton won just about all of the bigger cities, and most of the nation's bigger businesses are located in the counties that contain these bigger cities. So you are not stating anything more than the obvious when you divide the economy and wealth geographically in that way.
What you miss, though, is that many of the Clinton voters in those bigger cities and the counties in which they are located - counties which Clinton carried - don't contribute anything to the wealth of those businesses that are located there. And conversely, many of the Trump-carried counties are home to voters who make sizable contributions to businesses located in the bigger Clinton-carried cities and their counties.
What you get by this method is a rather distorted picture of the respective percentages of the wealth carried by each candidate. In fact, this is the first time in my life that I've ever seen any election analysis using this grossly defective concept.
So? Trump won, get over it.
I can’t, I’m sorry. I can’t read anymore of their hysterical bull crap.
Source off this article.. Wash Post.. DISREGARD.
But I thought democrats were for the little guy, and Republicans were for businesses???!!!???
So now democrats and journalists hate the little guy? Wow!
No wonder she—and the journalists—lost!
Well, there are plenty of “wide-open” spaces in the Red Counties for businesses to expand or relocate.
They don’t need cities, they just need on-ramps and exits near interstate highways, and/or rail freight access.
The cities already have too much traffic congestion for efficient industrial transportation.
Oh yeah....and Ska-rew the unions.
